I had an absolutely lovely time this afternoon at my friend Dan’s wedding to Becca.
Dan’s mother, Shari, performed the ceremony, which was held at Brushwood Folklore Center in Sherman NY. This was during Sirius Rising. Becca’s family is Jewish, so they included the traditional smashing of the glass under foot by the groom at the end, to which the crowd happily exclaimed “Mazel tov!” Someone made a very nice rainbow yarmulke for the father of the bride.
After the ceremony, we headed over to the Chautauqua Golf Club for the reception, which was very nice indeed. We joked about being kind of out of place. Someone jested about “My Big Fat Hippie Wedding” and I wondered if we weren’t about to embark on a remake of the movie Caddy Shack.
There was a very nice bit of drumming, which included the bride and groom. Hey, when it’s your wedding, why not do what makes you happy? Everyone enjoyed that. There was also some dancing during the second bit of performance.
And how cool is it that after taking the photos of the various family configurations that we saw a rainbow? A great sign!
Wishing Dan and Becca many, many years of happiness! See the whole photo set here.
